    Yes it is, is the leak from the rad panel or from the rad valves , if its from the panel you would want to turn off the valves fully on both sides of the radiator.

    If you have no clue then get a plumber in. If it's a relatively new build it could be a rad valve that needs a squeeze. Easy enough done just make sure you hold the valve in opposite direction to which you're tightening and don't over-tighten;) If that doesn't do it get a plumber.

    Yeah, the leak is on the valve. Thanks for the advise.
